For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 ESV
Next time you pick up a Bible and begin reading, I hope this verse will be on your mind, because it is absolutely true. The word of God is not just a compilation of stories and teachings packed into a book called the Bible; it is alive! The words in this book are more than just ink blots on a page - they are alive, and they hold the power to change our hearts, to give us life, and to act as God's revelation to all mankind.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 ESV
Are you taking advantage of this awesome gift of His Word that God has given us? Next time you pick up your Bible, I hope you'll open up your heart and allow the words to not only speak to you, but to change your heart as they "pierce the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discern the thoughts and intentions of your heart."
Blessings,
Andrew
